Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts
(10-09-2017, 03:54 PM)plam Wrote: The pictures show multi-use trails and we tested them out today. They do effectively get you from Kehl to Alpine, so you only have 600m on a sidewalk if you want to get to Strasburg and the bike lane there. The multi-use trails are wider than the formerly-scary sidewalks. Those two roundabouts are gigantic.

Also, a bike lane will get you on Block Line (say from Strasburg & Block Line) over to the LRT stop. You can also get to Fairview Park on that dirt trail parallel to Fairway Rd.

Which MUT were you on?  The one on the south side goes all the way past Strasburg I believe to McLennan Park Gate to provide park access.  Getting to Strasburg should be easy on the south side (of course, it would be nice if there was some way of knowing that at Alpine.  It would also be nice if some (any really) effort was made to connect the bike lanes to the trail, as it is, they're basically 10 yards apart for no reason.  Still, it's nice that we're down to complaining about little details instead of "there should be a path instead of nothing".
